A hard read for a while - but, I liked how the author put a twist at the end with who sent the girl to the court room with the lock picks.

There are 35 menmbers in our club so satisfying everyone is tough. Liss did an excellent job of recreating 18th century England and the politics of the time period. It had a good dose of humor and was classified as a mystery/suspense novel. The main character is a repeat from A Spectacle of Paper. Generally a good read but many members found the politics of the Whigs and Tories to be less than riveting. Interesting to draw parrallels to our political climate today.
